The same reason that you shoot any animal, for the hunt. The sport of trying to track an animal and be in position to take it in one shot. I have seen videos of people killing wild lions with a bow and arrow about 30 yards away. Pretty gutsy stuff. The thrill of the hunt. Having a tame lion led out on a leash and then unharnessed so you can shoot him seems about like shooting your cat in your front yard. There is not a lot of macho status in that. In the case of the tame lions in South Africa, apparently a lot of millionaires don't want to spend the time, energy, skill and take the risk of actually being in the bush to take a game animal. They could just buy a stuffed head but then they could not brag to their friends that they bagged a big one "in the wild". They can then produce the trophy picture of themselves standing by their big kill. >

That's worse than trophy deer hunts in Texas. At least the deer aren't raised in cages and led to the shooting lane.

Most of the LNVA canals in this area have some decent catfish in them. They have Ops, Blues and Channels. The biggest that I have caught is about a 10 pound Ops on a limb line. I have gotten a lot of Channel cats out of these canals.

That was an eye opener! Great game by BC.

I didn't know I need your permission to post.. oh yeah, I don't. Kyle Green is a friend and I coached him for 4 years. I am friends with his family. If it offends you that I said Vidor is off to a great start and to keep it up..... I guess you will just have to be offended. Now why not just try and stick with the topic.

They have been in this area for quite a while. I see them when I fish in the Neches River out of Beaumont. The one that has gotten the press lately near Vidor fortunately happens to be near the highway where it can be seen by more people.

Great start Vidor. Keep it up.

That's nicer than anything I killed this year.

Maybe I am reading this wrong. Are you saying that Lamar was a top 25 1-AA football team a few times back in the late 80's? Exactly when is it that the "record was good" in the late 80's? This is from a New York Times article from December 15, 1989: Lamar University Drops Football The Lamar University board of regents today voted to discontinue the school's football program, citing projected losses of half a million dollars over the next three seasons. The Lamar University board of regents today voted to discontinue the school's football program, citing projected losses of half a million dollars over the next three seasons. The board's vote was 5-4 to discontinue football at the school, which has competed as a National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I-AA independent the past three years. The football program lost $4.3 million over the past decade, all losing seasons on the field except this year's 5-5 finish under Coach Ray Alborn. [Hidden Content] Okay, so in the last decade of Lamar football they had all losing seasons except a 5-5 finish in their last year. Not a single winning season in the 80's and yet several times Lamar was a top 25 team? It must not have taken much to be in the top 25 back then. You are correct, how quickly we forget.. or in your case, just make it up.

It seems strange that he resigned before the end of the season.

LOL.. it is in the Gulf. I never said we were in the lake. You said that I must be in the Gulf and I never answered. My biggest in the lake is 15 pound range. I have caught them on bass rods and light line. ;D

Well, you are a better fisherman than me if you can take a 30-40 pound red on 12 pound line in 5 minutes.

I don't think Vidor has a bad team but help me understand the logic. To make sure I understand it, Vidor is not bad because LCM lost 7 in a row?

They have zones. Between their under performing schools and magnet schools, you can usually find a way to go where you want. That is why the last couple of years the local news has done stories on parents camping out at the school admin building to get their kids first in line for the different schools. Once that capacity is reached at each school however, then no more transfers can take place.

That's the whole point Lucky. Go back and read the post. I think they survived because "we fight then with heavier line" and bring them in faster. I wasn't bragging about being able to catch a redfish on 40 lb line. I can catch one on 6 pound line but after I play the redfish for an hour, I can just about assure its death.

The bass should be starting to spawn pretty soon. Like maybe 4:00pm tomorrow.

But how much do those skinny croakers weigh.. about 10 ounces for a big one?

Whiting? Those are like for bait right?

I am assuming that Stump will have passing as a vital part of his program. If that is what he is heading for, there is no need to wait. We might see a pass on his team's first official play on offense. Might as well air it out early.

I understand the point but we see deer all the time during the season on our lease near Colmesneil. I hunt fairly thick woods much of the time with very limited visibility and almost always see deer during the season. Then again, we don't shoot everytime we see fur.

A lot of times we unhook them without ever lifting them out of the water. We always scrimp or file down the barb and use a barbless hook.

I don't know that I have ever seen one that I caught actually turn belly up on me. We fight them with heavier line, maybe 40 pound, and bring them in before too long. They still put up a fight but it doesn't last a long time. We keep them moving back and forth in the water until they revive.

So give Kingofthadiamond the gps coordinates so he can come over.

Yeah, that is bad.

You've got to have a good coach to compete. You've got to have good talent to go deep.
